§Provide
leadership and operational support for the University of
California’s efforts to develop an innovative and sustainable
scholarly publishing system

For those of you
unfamiliar with the eScholarship Program, it is a digital publishing
initiative within the Office of Scholarly Communication at the University of
California.Though it falls under the
aegis of the CDL – and hence happily coexists with the worlds of metadata and
built content – eScholarship’s specific mandate is to “provide leadership and
operational support for the University of California’s efforts to develop an
innovative and sustainable scholarly publishing system.”
